Re: Thanks John, you're right about

pmkap has it right, except for one small detail:

The isolation transformer feeding the balanced transformer MUST have a greater current capacity, or it will limit the capabilities of the balanced transformer.

Even if the transformer rating are equal, then there will be some limting going on.

This has to do witrh the peak current situation, and transformer headroom, etc.

In other words, id es no good, and may actually sound worse, if a wimpy isolation transformer is placed in front of an adequate balanced transformer.

In any case, stay away from ferro-resonant types, seldom do they do more good than harm.
